Facedowninshit

American Sludge Metal Band

Facedowninshit formed in 1999 out of a sludgy hardcore punk band in Greensboro, NC that featured Ryan Wolfe on drums and Waylon Riffs on bass and vocals. The two met up with Jason Crumer and recorded a demo tape in 2000 under the name facedowninshit. Immediately after the band self-released this demo tape, facedowninshit teamed up with USA Is A Monster for two-months for their first-ever US tour. Upon returning home, the band recorded their first full-length album, Concrete World, which they self-released as a LP in 2001. Not waiting for nor needing any support, facedowninshit booked their own full US tour in 2001 backing this LP release. Facedowninshit relocated from Greensboro to Portland, OR in 2003 and finished writing Passing Times. Letting no time pass them by, the band scheduled a week’s worth of time to record at the Jam Room in Columbia, SC and booked another full US tour around the recording dates. Passing Times saw a 2004 release via Crimethinc in the US and Exutoire in Europe. The band’s fierce independence and hard work caught the attention of Relapse Records, signing a deal with them in the summer of 2005. The band is currently spread along the eastern seaboard writing their Relapse debut where guitarist Jason Crummer hopes “to capture the live sound, create something a LOT more raw.”
